AOC voted against an amendment to the bill for removing the sending of arms to Israel. That’s a fact in the public record.

An amendment numbered 114 printed in Part A of House Report 119-199 to strike funding for the Israeli Cooperative Programs.

Yeah, shebcoted nay, but why? The automatic assumption for some here is that she likes dead kids and genocide and that might just not be true
